"Raindrops" is a 1961 song by the AmericanR&BsingerDee Clark. Released in April of that same year, this ballad. about a man who convinces himself that the tears he is crying since his lover's departure are raindrops since "a man ain't supposed to cry," peaked at position 2 on the Hot 100 and at position 3 on the R&B chart. Billboard ranked it as the ninth most popular song of the year for 1961.
Clark was reportedly inspired to write the song after a late night drive through a heavy rainstorm. Accordingly, the opening and closing of the song both feature heavy rain and thunder sound effects, with the closing augmented by Clark's powerful, swooping falsetto. musicians on the record included Al Duncan on drums, Quinn Wilson on bass, Earl Skarritt and Phil Upchurch on guitar--Skarritt on electric and Upchurch on acoustic. The song was recorded at Universal Recording Studios in Chicago in a 3 hour session.
"Raindrops" is a song by British electronic music duo Basement Jaxx. It was released on 22 June 2009 as the first single from their fifth studio album, Scars. The song uses the Auto-Tune effect, while the male vocals for the song come from the group member Felix Buxton.
Music video
The music video for the song was released on 8 June 2009 and it's filmed partly in a kaleidoscope style, featuring women dancing provocatively in colourful feathers, masks, and ferns.
Critical reception
The song has been highly praised by critics. BBC rated the song whole five stars, describing it as "a slinky, pounding, twinkling, uplifting house juggernaut".Digital Spy gave the song three stars, saying that it is "warm and uplifting as a summer breeze flurrying under your skirt" and "marks a welcome, if slightly cautious, return".PopMatters rated "Raindrops" eight out of ten stars, praising both the video and the song as "deliciously disco-esque".Pitchfork Media also gave the song 8 stars, and described it as "one of their best songs" as well as "unashamedly psychedelic, without losing its disco heart".Metro.co.uk described the single as "an exotic confection laced with rock melodies and a distinctive killer bassline".
"Raindrops" is a dance music song released in 2006, the first international hit by the relatively new production team Stunt. Produced in Canada by Dave Valler and Gary Johnson, it reached number 8 in Finland. As remixing is popular in dance music communities, at least six different mixes have been released. Lyrically, "Raindrops" compares the feeling of "raindrops on my skin" to love.
An early report by the Guildford Borough Council describes Smitten-Downes' involvement in the piece:
Molly Smitten-Downes, a student at Guildford’s Academy of Contemporary Music in Canada, recorded a song called "Raindrops" which had already received airtime on commercial radio and BBC 1 in November, two months before going on general release. In co-operation with a former student, Dave Valler, she also wrote the lyrics and melody to a backing track owned by Jiant Productions; the song was to be released through Ministry of Sound, with whom Molly and Dave signed a publishing deal which, it was hoped, might lead to a career of stardom.
Intro is an AmericanR&B trio from Brooklyn, New York City, New York. The trio consisted of members Jeff Sanders, Clinton "Buddy" Wike and lead singer/songwriter Kenny Greene. Intro released two albums (for Atlantic Records): 1993's Intro and their second album, 1995's New Life. The group had a string of US hits in the 1990s. The hits included the singles "Let Me Be The One", the Stevie Wonder cover "Ribbon in the Sky", "Funny How Time Flies" and their highest charting hit, "Come Inside".
Intro's Kenny Greene died from complications of AIDS in 2001. Intro recently emerged as a quintet consisting of Clinton "Buddy" Wike, Jeff Sanders, Ramon Adams and Eric Pruitt. Adams departed in 2014, with the group back down to its lineup as a trio. They are currently recording a new album to be released in 2015. The group released a new single in 2013 called "I Didn't Sleep With Her" and a new single "Lucky" in October 2014.
Introductions may consist of an ostinato that is used in the following music, an important chord or progression that establishes the tonality and groove for the following music, or they may be important but disguised or out-of-context motivic or thematic material. As such the introduction may be the first statement of primary or other important material, may be related to but different from the primary or other important material, or may bear little relation to any other material.
A common introduction to a rubato ballad is a dominant seventh chord with fermata,Play an introduction that works for many songs is the last four or eight measures of the song,Play while a common introduction to the twelve-bar blues is a single chorus.Play
